WEST FARGO – The West Fargo Sheyenne High School boys soccer team will not be competing in the state tournament later this week.
Sheyenne administration notified the North Dakota High School Activities Association that it was discovered an ineligible student had been competing throughout the entire season. As a result, all previous matches where the student participated must be forfeited.
Superintendent of West Fargo Public Schools, Beth Slette said unfortunately, there is not an easy answer as to why this wasn’t discovered earlier.
Last year, West Fargo Public Schools replaced all of its high school activities directors with one district-wide activities director.
Logan Midthun is in his first year in that position and calls the situation heartbreaking. He says his job now is to put systems in place to prevent this from ever happening again.
